- Porsche 356 1950-55
The OE Match Window Winder Handle is a replacement manual window crank designed for early Porsche 356 models.
Fits Left Or Right Side.
- Porsche 356 / 1.1-1.5 01/50-12/55
Diagram Ref No 28
Mounted to the window regulator spindle inside the door, the handle allows the occupant to manually raise and lower the side window. Turning the handle transfers rotational movement directly into the window regulator mechanism, which moves the glass through its guides.
Featuring a period-style ivory knob, the handle provides both a functional replacement and an appropriate appearance for classic Porsche interior restoration.
After decades of regular use, original window handles can become loose, worn, cracked or cosmetically deteriorated. Wear around the mounting interface can also cause the handle to slip on the regulator spindle, making the window increasingly difficult to operate.
What This Product Does:
The window winder handle provides the driver's or passenger's manual control of the door window regulator.
It is designed to:
- Operate the manual window regulator mechanism.
- Raise the side window.
- Lower the side window.
- Transfer rotational movement to the regulator spindle.
- Provide a comfortable grip through the rotating ivory knob.
- Restore reliable manual window operation.
- Replace a loose, worn, damaged or missing original handle.
- Fit either the left or right-hand door.
- Maintain the period-correct appearance of the Porsche 356 interior.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible signs of wear or damage include:
- Handle becoming loose or wobbling.
- Excessive movement around the regulator spindle.
- Handle slipping when turned.
- Window failing to move despite the handle rotating.
- Increased effort required to operate the window.
- Mounting interface becoming worn or stripped.
- Handle repeatedly working loose.
- Ivory knob becoming cracked.
- Knob becoming loose or difficult to rotate.
- Handle becoming bent or distorted.
- Visible cracks in the handle.
- Surface finish becoming scratched or worn.
- Chrome becoming pitted or tarnished.
- Handle becoming detached from the spindle.
- Original handle missing completely.
Some of these symptoms can also result from a worn or seized window regulator, so the complete mechanism should be checked if window movement remains difficult after handle replacement.
Why Replacement Matters:
A worn window handle can eventually lose its ability to transfer sufficient force to the regulator.
Replacing a damaged or loose handle helps restore:
- Positive engagement with the window regulator.
- Smooth manual window operation.
- Reliable raising and lowering of the glass.
- Better operating feel.
- Reduced risk of the handle slipping.
- Correct interior appearance.
- Easier everyday use of the vehicle.
For a restored Porsche 356, replacing heavily worn interior hardware can also significantly improve the overall presentation of the cabin.
